CELERY HERB STUFFING AND SAVORY CHICKEN



Celery Herb Stuffing and Savory Chicken image

I taught my children this recipe by singing along to Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, great herb stuffing seasonings. If you can get savory from the Atlantic provinces to green your chicken; it would be the best. My father was a Newfoundlander and swore by their savory.

OUR FAVORITE BUTTERY HERB STUFFING



Our Favorite Buttery Herb Stuffing image

This is the best stuffing recipe ever! Served as stuffing or dressing, this buttery herb toasted bread dish is absolutely incredible!

Provided by How Sweet Eats

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 to 24 ounces bread cubes, (1.5 loaves of bread, or about 12 to 14 cups) (preferably toasted or stale)
1 cup unsalted butter
3 cups diced sweet onion, (roughly 2 large onions)
2 cups diced celery
6 garlic cloves, (minced)
kosher salt and pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 large eggs
a mixture of fresh herbs for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Note about the bread cubes! You have options here. Stale or toasty bread works best. The first option is that you can cut 1 ½ pounds of bread into cubes, place it in a large baking dish, loosely tent with foil and let it sit overnight. You can also cut the cubes and put them in oven, toasting them at 350 degrees F until they are like croutons, about 15 minutes or so. Finally, you can buy the toasted bread cubes in bags from the store. It's your choice! You can also choose the size of your cubes. They can be small or larger for a more rustic stuffing.
  • My mom has always used a mixture of stale and fresh bread. Also, I like to use different kinds of bread (usually two), like a sourdough and italian, and mix the cubes. It provides great texture.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9x13 baking dish (you can also use a larger baking dish or a larger foil roasting pan too!) with melted butter, olive oil or spray with nonstick spray. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl (this may be easier for you to stir!) or the baking dish that you will bake it in. You can also separate this into two baking dishes if it's easier.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the onion, celery and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper - at least ½ to 1 teaspoon each. Cook until the onions and celery soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the sage, parsley and rosemary. Cook for another minute. Stir in 1 cup of stock.
  • Pour the onion celery mixture over the bread crumbs and toss well to coat.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the remaining 1 ½ cups stock and 2 eggs.
  • Pour that mixture into the bread cubes and stir and fold the bread cubes until thoroughly combined. Bake the stuffing for 45 to 50 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F. If the stuffing is getting too browned, you can tent it with foil.
  • I have successfully made this a day ahead of time and reheated it - it's just as good! emove the pan from the fridge 60 minutes before reheating it. You can also use this mixture to stuff the bird if you wish!
  • To serve 4: Cut this recipe in half exactly and bake it in an 8x8 or 9x9 inch dish. I bake for the same amount of time.
  • To serve 12 to 18: Double this recipe exactly. Bake in a large baking dish, like a 10x15 roasting pan, or baking in two 9x13 baking dishes. I bake for roughly the same amount of time, or about 15 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs impart a more intense flavor than dried herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but you'll need to use about twice as much.
  • Don't overstuff the bird: Overstuffing can make the bird difficult to cook evenly and can also make the stuffing mushy.
  • Cook the stuffing separately: If you're worried about the stuffing not cooking through, you can cook it separately in a baking dish. Just be sure to keep it covered so that it doesn't dry out.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: Letting the stuffing rest for a few minutes before serving will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:
